Conte gives no assurances on Lloris future
Spurs manager Antonio Conte has refused to guarantee the future of captain Hugo Lloris.
The 34-year-old goalkeeper's contract expires at the end of the season, and Conte said he currently has other transfer priorities.
He told a press conference yesterday: "For sure he is a point of reference for the other players and Hugo knows very well what I think about him and what the club thinks about him. Now we’ll see but I think Hugo won’t be ever a problem for Tottenham."

Gunners could outbid Turin giants for striker
Arsenal are being tipped to outbid Juventus for Fiorentina goal machine Dusan Vlahovic by Il Messaggero.
The 21-year-old striker has 18 goals and three assists in 22 matches this season, leading Juve to plot a raid on their Serie A rivals.
However his €80 million asking price is a stumbling block - meaning the wealthier Gunners could swoop to bring the Serbian to the Premier League.
City unlikely to sanction Ake January move
Manchester City are not expected to let Nathan Ake leave the club in the January transfer window, according to The Athletic.
West Ham are reportedly interested in adding the versatile Netherlands international to their ranks as they look to bolster their defence heading into the second half of the season.
Caci to make Bundesliga move
Strasbourg left-back Anthony Caci will move to the Bundesliga next summer, reports Le10Sport.
The 24-year-old will see his contract expire at season's end and his agent has confirmed he will leave Strasbourg on a free transfer.
Eintracht Frankfurt are interested in Caci but they will face competition for the former France youth international.
Raphinha nears €50m Bayern Munich move
The Leeds star could be on his way to Germany
Bayern Munich are nearing a €50 million (£42m/$57m) deal to sign Leeds star Raphinha this January, reports TNT Sports.
The 25-year-old has become a Premier League star at Leeds after joining from Rennes in the summer of 2020.
Bayern want the Brazil international to help replace Kingsley Coman, who could leave as his contract renewal talks are currently stalled.
Morata unlikely to stay with Juventus
Juventus are unlikely to make Alvaro Morata's loan move permanent, reports Calciomercato.
The striker is in the second of a two-year loan spell from Atletico Madrid, and has scored seven goals so far this term.
That return may not be enough to convince Juve to pay the €35 million (£30m/$40m) clause needed to make Morata's move permanent.
PSG agree contract extension with Ebimbe
PSG have agreed a contract extension with midfielder Eric Junior Dina-Ebimbe, reports Le10Sport.
The 21-year-old has featured eight times for PSG this term and will be sent on loan to the Bundesliga to gain more first-team experience.
Newcastle eye Ighalo move
Newcastle are considering a January move for Odion Ighalo, reports Sky Sports.
Ighalo, who has played in the Premier League with Watford and Manchester United, is currently playing for Al Shabab in Saudi Arabia.
